Camber adjustment looks like it slipped?

[Chris Callanan]

Recently I've noticed a distinct clunking noise usually when backing out of the driveway and turning - usually feeling something in the steering wheel...  sometimes sounds like it is coming from the back, but feels like the front...

 

Thought maybe front CVs, boots all look ok - but I noticed the camber adjustment looks like they maybe have moved on their own... and certainly don't look like they are symmetrical  Should I just take it in for an alignment?  Something else I should be looking for?  Thoughts?

Yes, you need to take it in to be aligned, and make sure they torque down those bolts properly.  You may want to re-torque them after a couple of days, after making sure they haven't moved.

And you might slap around whoever did the alignment if you've had it done since it shipped from the factory.

2nd pic is nasty, agree with davester get an alignment as soon as posssible

[Chris Callanan]

I have never had it aligned...  Just put new tires on a few months back at the Dealer (they had a sale going on) - but didn't ask for an alignment..  truck only has 46000 miles...   

 

I'll go get it aligned

I would suggest using a paint marker pen to mark the location of those plates, after getting the alignment, so you can easily tell if they have moved, and to move them back into their right position and retighten the bolts.

If you're an offroader and want to lock in your alignment, I found these a long time ago. I haven't bought them and not sure if I would since I don't have any real offroad trails near me in Michigan.

Yow, $280.  I would just drill a hole and bolt the cam's down to the frame.  Works the same and $275 cheaper.

Where are you shipping it to? I'm in Michigan and shipping is $10.00
